Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → (A)-(II), (B)-(III), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV)
(A) "The boy in blue trousers is my brother." - "The" is used before "boy" to specify a particular boy, making it the correct determiner in this context.
(B) "Toys can be made of wood." - "No article" is used because we are talking about toys in a general sense without specifying a particular group of toys.
(C) "He is an MBA." - "An" is used before "MBA" because it starts with a vowel sound (em), and "an" is used before words that begin with vowel sounds.
(D) "There are five instalments to be paid in a year." - "A" is used before "year" because it's not referring to a specific year but any year. "A" is an indefinite article and fits this context.
